I've been using Hikashop for about six years. By now I know it very well. One of my big clients operates an online bookstore. They have a growing selection of e-books. We are encrypting them via a plugin called Haihaisoft. It doesn't work as often as it does. Lots of user complaints that I have to field. We went with this company originally because Hikashop (last time I inquired) didn't offer an encryption plugin for digital goods. The customer doesn't want these expensive books duplicated and circulated on the black market. There are a couple speciality components which can handle this. But we prefer to not add another checkout system if we don't need to. We want to keep the e-book section in Hikashop because it has such great order-tracking features. And the client is well used to them. So please let me know, and please point me to any relevant documentation.

Hello,

HikaSerial have an integration plugin with "secure e-book" but unfortunately the platform (and his services) are not longer available.
Afterwards, we know that some system allow to provide digital books, like "Adobe Content Server" or "Edition Guard".
These two system can be integrated with HikaShop/HikaSerial (thanks to a custom development).

Thank you, Jerome. Are you saying you could implement one of these solutions for us on a custom basis? I would like to hear more about that. We are not happy with Haihaisoft plugin. I would like to obtain ballpark cost estimate as well as understand how such a system work for admin and for end user.

Hello Jim,

Some years ago, I created a component in order to integrate with "Adobe Content Server" and I have also analyze the solution "Edition Guard" for a possible implementation.

Thank you, Jerome. I will send you a contact e-mail with our requirements. To add a plugin like to Hikashop would be super awesome. Maybe our project can move you guys toward that goal.
